NetWare DOS/Windows Workstation README file
For NetWare DOS client v3.01
May 1990
--------------------------------------------------
1. The instructions for creating PIF files in the
NetWare DOS/Windows Workstation Update booklet are
for the 386 Enhanced Mode. If you are using other
modes, check your Windows documentation for instructions
on how to create a PIF file.
2. BINDFIX--WARNING: Do not run the BINDFIX utility
included in this kit on a NetWare 386 server.
3. Full IPX/SPX support was not available in Windows v3.0
at the time of this release. Applications using IPX/SPX may
cause network errors if run under Windows v3.0.
4. For product information, call 1-800-LANKIND.
For customer service, call 1-800-LANSWER. (This service is
provided for a fee.)
5. The INSTALL Utility for NetWare and Windows 3.0
You may experience problems if you are running Windows 3.0
in 386 Enhanced Mode with Novell NetWare. The problem
only occurs with some network adapters configured to use
IRQ 2 or IRQ 9. The INSTALL utility provided with this kit will
prevent these problems by installing a new file in your
Windows directory.
We recommend that you run this installation procedure if
you are using Windows and NetWare on a 80386-based
computer, whether or not your current configuration
displays the problem. This will ensure that your copy of
Windows will function properly if your configuration is
later changed.
Performing this procedure will have no adverse affects on
your system, whether or not it is required.
The INSTALL utility may be run against your local Windows
directory or against your shared Windows directory.
If you are running it against your local Windows directory
(usually C:\Windows), INSTALL will install a new file for use by
Windows in 386 enhanced mode. INSTALL will copy the file VPICDA.386
to your Windows directory and modify your SYSTEM.INI file to tell
Windows about the new file.
If you are running INSTALL against your shared Windows
directory, INSTALL will install VPICDA.386 in your shared
Windows directory. Your SYSTEM.SRC file will be modified so
that individual copies of Windows set up from this directory will
receive SYSTEM.INI files that load this new file.
Perform the following steps to run the installation procedure
a. Change directories to the location of
INSTALL.EXE. (INSTALL.EXE AND
VPICDA.386 are located on the UTILITIES-2
diskette.)
b. Type INSTALL if you are running INSTALL
against your Windows directory (already installed on
your workstation),
OR
Type INSTALL /n if you are running INSTALL
against your shared Windows directory.
At this point, the installation procedure notifies you that the
procedure completed successfully.
6. The following additional shell configuration option
is available for IPX:
CONFIG OPTION=number
Allows you to override the configuration options
chosen during the SHGEN or DCONFIG program.
This parameter does not permanently change the
IPX file. It only changes the configurations within
the workstation RAM. Use it as a temporary method
for changing the configurations. If the configuration
option must be changed permanently, the IPX file
should be reconfigured through the SHGEN or
DCONFIG program.
Default: option set during SHGEN or DCONFIG
7. The following additional shell configuration options
are available for NetBIOS:
COMMANDS=number
Replace number with the number of commands that
NetBIOS uses. The minimum is 4 commands;
the maximum is 128 commands.
Default: COMMANDS=12
Note: NetBIOS currently allocates one send buffer for
every command buffer allocated. The number of
commands and send buffers will equal the
maximum of these two parameters.
RETRY COUNT=number
Allows you to specify the number of
times NetBIOS will transmit a request to establish
a connection before it times out. No minimum and no
maximum.
Default: RETRY COUNT=20
INTERNET=[ON | OFF]
Affects how NetBIOS names are resolved
to NetWare addresses. If the internet option is
specified as ON, name resolution broadcasts are
forwarded through NetWare bridges through the
internetwork. If the internet option is specified as
OFF, the broadcast will only be sent to stations on
the local network, and NetBIOS will ignore inbound
NetBIOS packets from outside the local network.
Default: INTERNET=ON
BROADCAST COUNT=number
NetBIOS broadcasts packets to every station on the
internetwork while it attempts to register or find a
NetBIOS name. It broadcasts the request the
number of times recommended by the BROADCAST
COUNT. (Older versions of NetBIOS used RETRY
COUNT to resolve names.
If the internet option is ON, the default is 4. If the
internet option is OFF, the default is 2.
BROADCAST DELAY=number
Allows you to configure the delay
between each packet that NetBIOS sends out while
attempting to register or find a NetBIOS name.
NetBIOS waits the amount of time specified by
BROADCAST DELAY before each retry.
The delay is specified in milliseconds.
If the internet option is ON, the default broadcast
delay is 2,000 milliseconds. If the internet option is
OFF, the default broadcast delay is 1,000
milliseconds. The minimum broadcast retry delay is
100 milliseconds; the maximum broadcast retry delay
is 65,535 milliseconds.
Note: NetBIOS attempts to find a name whenever a session
is established or a datagram is sent. Names used
by datagrams are cached where possible, but any
datagram may require name resolution over the
internetwork. This can take BROADCAST COUNT
and BROADCAST DELAY time to complete.
